Alright... today's guest is a true legend of the triathlon world. He is an Australian superstar with an impressive resume that includes over 80 professional podium finishes, 23 Ironman 70.3 wins, the Ironman Australia Championship, and his crowning achievement of the Ironman 70.3 World Championship in 2016.
He joined us on the show almost two years ago to the day, in episode 90. Since then, he's transitioned into a full-time coach and more recently started his own podcast, the Triathlon Therapy podcast.
Today's conversation promises to be an engaging exploration into the world of triathlon. We'll recap his remarkable journey and then dive deep into the state of the sport. Covering major events like the 2023 Ironman 70.3 championships, Ironman world championships, the Olympics, PTO events, and everything else in between, including the latest equipment, the rising stars of the sport, and even some predictions and opinions.
